Serio. No bo jak to rozumiec ?
Krokie streszczenie dla nieznajacych jezyka:
Wzrost cen beznyny spowodowal wzrost liczby osob, ktore splacaja z
opoznieniem rachunki za karty kredytowe.
Ludzie, ja rozumiem, ze benzyna podrozala jak cholera, ale jaki to faktyczny
cios w domowy budzet???
100 dolarow miesiecznie wiecej? I co , juz kicha z placeniem rachunkow?
BTW:Dzis rano w darmowej subwayowej gazetce wyczytalem, ze srednia cena za
mieszkanie wlasnosciowe (condo) na Manhattanie o powierchni 1000 sq. ft
wlasnie przekroczyla 1000 000 dolarow i wynosi 1 021 000.
Ciekawe, jak to sie ma do oficjalnych danych nt. inflacji w USA? BO w 2002
takie mieszkanko kosztowalo niewiele ponad 300K.
WASHINGTON - The percentage of credit card payments that were past due shot
up to a record high in the second quarter as surging gasoline prices strained
budgets and made it difficult for some people to pay their bills.
The American Bankers Association reported Wednesday that the seasonally
adjusted percentage of credit card accounts 30 or more days past due rose in
the April-to-June quarter to 4.81 percent. That followed a delinquency rate
of 4.76 percent in the first quarter and was the highest since the
association began collecting this information in 1973.
"The rise in gas prices is really stretching budgets to the breaking point
for some people," the association's chief economist, Jim Chessen, said in an
interview. "Gas prices are taking huge chunks out of wallets, leaving some
individuals with little left to meet their financial obligations."
With personal savings rates dismally low, people have less of a cushion to
absorb the big jumps in energy prices, Chessen said. The personal savings
rate dipped to a record low of negative 0.6 percent in July.
